Lake Forest Not In Orlando

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OPINION

December 28, 1989

A RECENT newspaper ad heralding the opening of Lake Forest, ''nestled in one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Orlando,'' caught my attention. I became very concerned. Have I been paying taxes in the wrong county?

My home of 30 years is just three miles west of Lake Forest on State Road 46, nestled in one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Seminole County, just four miles from that jewel on the St. Johns, Sanford.

I have asked the Sanford Chamber of Commerce to forward a map of this beautiful area to Lake Forest's advertising people so they can correct a gross error.

Lake Forest is 21 miles, give or take a couple, from Orlando, and lucky to be so. Otherwise, it could not be described as being in a one-of-a-kind environment. Northwest Seminole County is a pristine, naturally wooded area beloved by those of us who, many years ago, sought peace and tranquility and found it.

As their neighbor, I welcome Forest Lake to a little bit of heaven, and compliment its developers on the outstanding floral and brick entrance. But please, new neighbors, do not try to place this area in Orlando.
